Yes, the Roluos Group temples are well worth visiting if you have extra time in Siem Reap and have seen the main Angkor-area attractions. Bakong is the largest of the temples and the most impressive, with Preah Ko second. Some travelers skip ruinous Lolei and hard-to-reach Prei Monti altogether. The Roluos Group, as the remains of a separate city, are off the main Angkor route, which makes them generally uncrowded but can also complicate transportation: Joining a tour helps you learn their story as well as getting you there and back.

Per one customer who booked the 3-Day 'Temples & Tonle Sap' Tour, "Kudos to the organization and guide for the fantastic three days we spent visiting the temples in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Professionalism, punctuality, and precision made for a fantastic and special organization."

The four ancient temples that make up the Roluos Group (also known as the Roluos Temples) date from the 9th century, when this area was the capital of the Khmer Empire. The capital city was later moved to Yasodharapura, but the temples still remain intact today.

It depends on the experience you are looking for. Angkor Wat is larger and more famous, ideal for ancient history buffs who have a lot of touring stamina. Roluos Group is smaller and less crowded, but predates Angkor Wat by a few hundred years. Its temples are in excellent condition.

Yes, you can visit the four temples that make up the Roluos Group independently; you do not need to join a tour. However, there is not much historical information posted at the site, so it’s a good idea to explore with a guide who can explain the site’s significance.

With just four temples grouped closely together, the Roluos Group can be covered in just an hour or two. For a full-day trip from Siem Reap, you can combine a visit here with other nearby temples or attractions, including Beng Mealea and traditional floating villages on Lake Tonle Sap.

There are tons of fun things to do when you're done visiting the Roluos Group. According to travelers, these are some of the top attractions in and around Angkor Wat:

• Angkor Wat

• Bayon

• Banteay Srei

• Ta Prohm
